Given your current circumstances are houses

Seems like a fair poll to me, if the majority of people here can afford a house then they are affordable, based on MSE forum users anyway. Or is that too simple?

What will be interesting is a lot of bears on here can easily afford a house but they're just too tight That said I've always found it suspicious that half the bears on here and hpc seem to have a 100k desposit and 6 figure salaries, yet refuse to buy until house prices drop another £2.80.

Or until that 12 bedroomed mansion they think they deserve comes down to half a crown;)

Ok, i can tell you the answer.

Houses are affordable in the main to people in this part of the forum who can afford a house, sockies included on MSE.

Wow, thats some serious insight into the economy.

Sorry for using facts in a poll and un-leading questions.:rolleyes:

Thinks (must write next time "If you were a miilionair you would be able to afford a house? yes surely!:rolleyes:)

In that case, yes I could buy - but worse off than a couple of years ago as I have accepted that the value of my home has come down and the next step up the ladder have not. Particularly sad when you realise that the housing stock is often not actually in very good order - even when looking at high end prices:D

Suspect that I shall invest in a plot and build what I want for a fraction of the price of the completed article.

A bit OT, but I have to agree with your assessment about prices in West Wales. I wanted to buy there,and indeed, could have done, but value wasn't what the local populace were offering. Blooming wrecks with a couple of acres at prices slightly below the admittedly daft English ones. That just won't cut it now.

I went elsewhere; Graham's neck of the woods, as it happens. At least I won't have to learn a new language, or watch S4C!:D

Well no because that would mean they are unaffordable based on your circumstance EG proximity to work
Want = Does not mean unaffordable, I would like a mansion but I would say they are unafordable to me..

yes, i putthe question mark on the want because im unsure whether many people can differentiate between their needs and wants any more....

but i still dont know what is relevant anyway. fact is i need 3 bedrooms, however i dont need a house with decent garden... but i want one- i certainly wouldnt buy a 3-bed 2nd floor flat, although one might be affordable, to me, for example

Wow, poll is showing more un-affordable. Must have been my bias questions hey Graham:)

Are you saying the bears are sock puppets and are trying to throw my poll to show houses are unafordable?

Are you then saying all polls on here are irrelevent?

Why discredit your own poll like that?

I cant prove anyone is a sock puppet.
I do not want people not to vote because they can/ cant' afford to buy but feel making it public would be detrimental.

Polls are usually anonymous when personal ,so that is why this one is.

You know when I said desperate!?

Stop asking me if "I'm saying" on every thread when I havent said it.

I can't discredit my own poll, it's public!

I'd say affordable, I could go up to £100,000 as a cash buyer.

Unless sock puppets have a "SP" next to there user name the belife of one person voting twice or more discredits any poll.
